parkinglot Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well this has grown on me a lot. I can actually tolerate the cheesy parts of the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylekrische Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Really enjoying this record. My copy is on the way. Should get it around the same time I get my U Turn Audio turntable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well this has grown on me a lot. I can actually tolerate the cheesy parts of the record. There are a couple parts that are just SO corny, and while I don't like them I try to just forget about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy. Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Picked up the white/green variant from Hot Topic. Super sweet looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynflnnry Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 was a huge fan of sports. tried really hard to give this a chance, but after several listens I just can't seem to enjoy it. :-( some moments are really good on it, but this time around the corny moments on this one leave a bad taste in my mouth compared to the "corny lighthearted teenage problems" kinds of moments on sports. I dunno. that one song where the verses sound like a country hoedown sort of sealed the deal for me on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derag001 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Just can't get into this. Will probably end up selling my 180g, but I'm gunna try a little bit longer cause I dug Sports a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. that one song where the verses sound like a country hoedown sort of sealed the deal for me on this one. see, i'm the complete opposite. there's a few really solid songs on sports, especially cooke, but i just can't get really into it. maybe i just haven't given it enough of a chance. i'm assuming you're referring to "going to bed now" when referring to the country sound? as long as they never write another song like that one on the split with the hundred acre woods, i'll be fine with them.

Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Stoked to see them and pick this up on Sunday. They put on such a good show at Bled Fest, the whole band was visibly excited to be there and to see so many people singing along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobohunter48 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I don't get why people knock their song from the split with THAW. I love it and it's one of my favorite songs of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Knowing who "Going to Bed Now" was specifically written about (albeit not entirely serious) made me like the song a lot less, honestly. Also, I'm confused as to why "Your Graduation" is the single or whatever because it's far from the catchiest or poppiest song on the album.

parkinglot Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 a single doesn't have to be the catchiest song... I think Your Graduation is one of the best on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think this albums finally clicked with me last night. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it the first couple times I listened to it, but it wasn't anything I found my self wanting to come back to often. Decided to give it another listen last night and I really got into it. I still don't think it's better than Sports though, but it's close to being just as good.

This isn't a pop album, this isn't being sent to radio or anything. Singles really don't mean that much other than initial exposure. I think it pretty much worked on their part.

maskedvigilante Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This is an album I can see myself getting more into after I hear the songs live. I loved Sports. And "Your Graduation" is fantastic. But the rest of the album left me a little cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it pretty much worked on their part. #37 on CMJ charts currently I also do think Your Graduation is the catchiest, most single worthy track. Just sayin'. Big thanks to everyone on here that bought the record, the response has us and the band so psyched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
